What 5 critics are saying

Critical reception for Men in Black: International skews negative, with most reviewers finding the film hampered by a weak, unfunny script and a lack of dramatic tension. The one consistent bright spot noted across reviews is the screen presence and charm of leads Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, though even that goodwill has limits for some critics. Several reviewers felt the film was bland and forgettable compared to earlier entries in the franchise.

    Indian Express

    Film review ·

    Chris Hemsworth looks as if he has wandered in from a super-hero movie in his spare time. It is Tessa Thomson who makes this thing work.

  2. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    Despite all its shortcomings, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson fans may be able to sit this through, simply because their screen presence is so magnetic and charming. Pity they're working with such a bland script, ending in a film that seems to cater to new audiences, rather than those who grew up watching the edgier MIB movies before it.

  3. IBNLive

    Film review ·

    Men In Black International lacks drama and punch, both inside and outside the covert bureau operating for the welfare of all living beings including aliens.

  4. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    Even Chris Hemsworth can't charm his way out of director F Gary Gray's unfunny, unmemorable and utterly unbearable sequel.

  5. The Hindu

    Film review ·

    In the end, International is a mildly fun ride with satisfying special effects and an adequate number of chuckles.
